it's lunchtime. people are talking with their friends while eating and sharing their lunches. ryujin, although lunch time was her favorite time, was in a glum mood. who wouldn't be? she had just fought with her boyfriend after all.
they've known each other for a while—inside and out, really.

first grade.
"can i play with you guys?"
the families were old friends having a reunion. as a result, there were other kids there—except none of them were ryujin's age really. they were a bit older, but that didn't mean she was going to shy away from them. she would rather play soccer than listen to whatever the grownups were talking about.
"no," the boy simply refused, taking a sip of the cup of coke in his hands.
"why not?"
"we have the right amount of players. we can't have one more."
teams needed to be even, he resolved in his head. and not to mention that she was a girl and younger than they were (he was in third grade then.)
she frowned and slapped the cup out of his hands before stomping away and telling on him.
ever since then, they were friends believe it or not. it was hard to continue to hate her when he found out that she collected pokemon cards and wanted to trade. well, at least until they weren't.

usually, when they fought, they forgot the next day. this time was different; the ignoring had been taking place for a week now. okay, maybe it was her fault for lashing out first. unfortunately, she caught him in an already bad mood, leading to a fiercer snap back. it escalated from there. but in her defense, he did forget that they were supposed to meet today. in his, mr. park really needed help moving classrooms. not only that, but he had run into someone—afterwards—that usually liked to piss him off on purpose. good thing he went to another school.
otherwise, everything was normal. chaeryoung brought them muffins today, insisting that each of them give a review. it was a test run; she didn't want to give taehyun poisoning or something like that. yuna was doing her homework (which was due in her class after lunch), and kai was copying off of the wrong answers she was jotting down.
things were normal until—
"we were both young when i first saw you~"
it boomed from outside the window. they were all eating lunch in mr. kim's classroom on the second floor. everyone's attention was caught, and they were all gathering around the windows and laughing.
the boy stood there in a big heart that was arranged with miscellaneous things. was that shoes? an arm was outstretched above him and in his hand was something black—a speaker, probably.
ryujin sneaked a peek from behind yuna's shoulder and was about to make a remark on how embarrassing that was going to be for the person it was for. from where she was, she couldn't recognize him.
he set down the speaker and pulled out a megaphone.
"shin ryujin!"
she gasped. everyone's eyes were on her now, smiling and holding in laughs.
sticking her head out the window, she squinted her eyes, confirming the face to his voice.
"turn that shit off!" she hissed, half about to beat him to a pulp and hug him...maybe.
"romeo save me me i've been feeling so alone~"
yeonjun cranked it up. that little piece of—
"say you forgive me then!" he yelled over the taylor swift with the help of the megaphone.
her face felt warm, but she was still mad. she was internally debating...
"say it, say it!" they began chanting. her arms were crossed and she kept scowling at him and everyone around her, embarrassed to the max and kind of happy (she won't lie.)
it didn't take her long to finally crack.
"fine!" she yelled, "i forgive you."
there was a bunch of awws and cheers. soobin, beomgyu, and taehyun ran up to their friend to congratulate him, their feet only in socks.
